1 TREK CAMBODIA THE KHMER KINGDOMS 1

2 ITINERARY OUTLINE FOR BESPOKE TRIPS This challenge is one that brings us the real essence of Cambodia. We trek to Tonle Sap lake, the life blood of Cambodia and continue through Khmer villages and ancient historical sites of the greater Angkor region. We witness life untouched by modernisation, where the warmth and friendliness of the Cambodian people leaves us with perhaps our greatest memories on this challenge. We end with a trip across Tonle Sap Lake and have some free time in Phnom Penh. DAY 1 DEPARTURE We depart on our overnight flight to Cambodia. DAY 2 ARRIVE SIEM REAP On arrival we are met by our guides and transferred to our hotel. We have a wonderful welcome meal and briefing to meet the team and prepare for the days ahead. DAY 3 THE PORT AND FLOATING VILLAGES 20KM 6HRS TREKKING For our first days challenge we trek to one of the most important geographical features of Cambodia, the great lake of Tonle Sap. Fed from waters of the Himalaya, its abundance of fish is a vital source of food and in the dry season the rich fertile soils left by it s receding shores make for perfect rice growing. After a boat transfer through floating villages we continue trekking to the Pagoda at Kampong Pluck where our first day s challenge ends. Our transfer vehicle will be waiting for us here to take us back to our hotel for cool showers and cold beers. DAY 4 WAT LOR PAGODA 21KM 7-8HRS TREKKING From Kampong Pluck we start trekking through beautiful village life and paddy fields to Kong Keb bridge where we have lunch. The last 7km take us to the Pagodas at Wat Lor from where we transfer back to Kulen Mountain and find our Pagoda stay ready and prepared for us. This is our first night in the local communities. DAY 5 KULEN MOUNTAIN 21KM 8-9HRS TREKKING The trek stretches the length of Kulen Mountain, starting with the only climb of our challenge, the 6km to the high point of Kulen Montain at 400m passing Tapeanh Village. We continue trekking passing through tiny villages to Anlong Thom where we lunch and for the rest of the afternoon walk along sandy roads, up steps, through jungle and around waterfalls to the Big Buddha statue that overlooks the whole of Siem Reap Province. From here it is a short down hill walk to the waterfalls where we are able to relax in the cooling waters of the Kulen River. 2

3 DAY 6 BANTEAY SREI 15KM 4-6HRS TREKKING After breakfast we start our trek to one of Angkor s most mysterious temples in the Angkor region, the complex at Banteay Srey. Here we are able to have lunch, spend some time and relax in the afternoon before we transfer back to Siem Reap and the comforts and luxury of our hotels with en-suite bathrooms and a swimming pool. DAY 7 ANGKOR WAT 23KM 6-8HRS TREKKING The day we have all been waiting for finally arrives. We make our way to the trailhead for Angkor Wat which leads us through forests and village life. After lunch we finally reach the entrance of Angkor Wat where we meet our specialised guide who will uncover the magic and history of one of the worlds greatest attractions, the UNESCO world heritage site of Angkor Wat. We are able to spend the rest of the afternoon here before transferring back to our hotel. Tonight we have a great celebratory dinner to mark the end of a truly amazing challenge. DAY 8 TONLE SAP LAKE Today we leave early and transfer to the port where we board our boat that takes us over Tonle Sap Lake. We arrive at the port of Kampong Chhnang and then to the city centre where we have the rest of the day free to enjoy this incredible city. Tonight we make our way the airport for our return flight home. DAY 9 ARRIVE HOME 3
